Recorded at Festival Becoq in La Cooperative, Montolieu, France, on July 27th, 2014, by Pierre Denjean.
"Is it because his drum kit was reduced that Quentin Conrate tackled, on July 27, 2014 "in the framework" of the festival Becoq, the walls of the Cooperative of Montolieu? It would therefore be phlegm that would be, first of all, this first solo recording of the drummer.
Intrepidity, even - in the register of the singing walls, we have known some precedents of size, including those of Thermes de Vals revealed by Fritz Hauser. Static, the microphone leaves Conrate the distance when the disc gives an idea of the vast space it will have traveled.
A breath first, then these rubbed objects that make the walls their great playground: squeaks, slips, rains, and finally tumult. If the improvisation offers a series of related but almost all independent propositions, Conrate manages to give a breath to the place that has been proposed - not to say submissive. It is, moreover, thanks to the distance with which it treats it that it ultimately adheres to it."-Guillaume Belhomme, The Sound of Grisli
